The Citadel background

The Citadel

A novice physician's initial enthusiasm for the medical field is gradually extinguished by the harsh realities and overwhelming obstacles of the job.

A young doctor, Andrew Manson, arrives in a Welsh mining town, where he discovers a high incidence of persistent coughs among the miners. Despite his efforts to find the cause, he's met with resistance. He relocates to London, but his practice struggles. A friend teaches him how to cater to wealthy hypochondriacs, but a profound experience ultimately reveals the true meaning of being a doctor.
